But there is no law requiring you to get one. That is the basis for
the suits against "voter ID".

Here's what I don't understand about this whole voter ID thing.

Here in CT, a form of positive ID which essentially is a driver's
license is required. The ID has to show residency in the town or, in
matter of taxation, real estate in the town. No exceptions.

What's do hard about doing this at the Federal level?

The best I can tell they say it discriminates against homeless people.
The argument is the requirement results in a defacto poll tax since it
costs money to get the state ID.
I think it is dumb too but don't shoot the messenger.

If they receive state or federal benefits of one kind or another, then
they have to have a SSN. From there, it's a simple step to obtain an
ID.

With respect to homeless people, I doubt many of them vote anyway.

You'd be surprised what a guy might do for a carton of cigs or a pint of
Jim Beam!
